I need to e-mail work and tell them I'm not coming in. I can't. I don't know what to say. I'm just... I'm so embarrassed and frustrated.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

sweet vw, are you making the decision to not go to work because your health demands you rest at this time, or are you having a shame attack because of being late? whatever is going on, we are 100% on your side, hoping and praying for you to feel better, healthier, stronger, happier.

I can't get going, because I am in a lot of pain. I haven't even walked the dog yet.

I just e-mailed them. We'll see what they say. I'm really scared that this is it. And, even more scared that it should be.

I'm sorry you are hurting so much, and that your body has been uncooperative about your work demands.

Praying that the outcome of this is what is best for you - that if they see their way through to keeping you, your health will improve to meet the challenges of this work; or that if they must let you go, it is simply a sign from on high that at this time you body needs more rest than you can get while working. Praying also that you be filled with peace and healing.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Jilli, if you haven't already seen these, I feel a bit guilty for tempting you, b/c they're rather spendy (IMO) -- Edward Gorey Bat Earrings.

Art Crawl!!!

BTW, did anyone else watch Top Chef last night?

One of the contestants came up with a project that was very reminiscent of the "Too Much Candy" concept.

Heard from work. We're going to re-assess tomorrow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's on the Tivo, but I haven't watched it yet.

Oof. I woke up this morning feeling very hungover, except all I drank yesterday was water. Turns out my sinuses were just experimenting with new and exciting ways to make me tired. Yay.

The bat earrings are awesome.
